New GTA 5 screenshots enact mayhem by air, land, and sea

Rockstar’s latest crime and man-date simulator, Grand Theft Auto 5, will be releasing on September 17 of this year. We have already seen a few trailers of the game, as well as a handful of screenshots to hold us over until then. Perhaps fearing that its rabid audience wasn’t receiving enough news about the game and would turn to a life of real — rather than simulated — crime in response, Rockstar has mercifully released a batch of new screenshots.

The shots are well-varied, jumping between just about every kind of terrain on and in which you can commit crimes. Ever commit crimes in the air? Because you can do that in GTA 5. Oh, you’ve been put away for federal air-crime charges? How about sea-crime? Yes, Grand Theft Auto 5 has it all — even three times the amount of main characters you’re used to in a GTA.

In all seriousness, the three-character mechanic, though not exactly new to the world of video games, does seem quite intriguing since it’s taking place in a world as vibrant and large as Grand Theft Auto’s.

Yesterday night at Sony’s killer E3 press conference, the company announced a new GTA 5 PS3 bundle that would release along with the game proper. The bundle will be priced at $299, and come with a 500GB PS3 Slim, the game, and a 30-day PS Plus membership. Rockstar will also be releasing a special edition GTA 5 headset for $179.99, exclusively at GameStop, seen below.

Stay tuned for more GTA 5 details as they become available, and try not to commit any real-world crimes to hold you over in the meantime.
